The eJitor cf the Sun said last week that Louisiana haJ probably gone for the administration. The editor of the Sun makes no bones of coming to conclusions, when he wishes to f ome to them. We can aasuro ourfiienJs that that state ha3gone two to one for Harrison and Reform. The Vanites themselves at New Orleans give up the state. This is tke f uith state which has voted s-ince the nomination of Harrison, 10 wit: Rhode Island, Connecticut, Virginia, and Louisiana, all of which voted fr Van 13ure:i Lefore, and they have all tins year passed a vote of condemnation upon -Mr. Van Buren and his policy, and have ranged then-uehei upon the side of Harrison and Refoim. ... TO THE POLLf! TO THE POLLS!! HARRISON MEN!!! Monday next ii election day. Let every friend of Harrison repair to the j'o!!s and contt ibute his mite towards rescuing our country, cur institutions and liberties from the grasp of the spoilers by voting for BIGGER and II ALL. An Appalling- Preposition. Dill EOT TAX A TWX. TLe Secretary of the Treasury, in a icxnt to Congress, su'jests that direct taxation must be resorted to for the sur port of government. In accoi dance with this suggestion, Mr. Novell, Van Buren Senator fior.j Michigan, a few Jays before the adjournment of Congress, movod that when Congress a.'jourr:6, it will adjourn to meet on the 1st of October, to take into consideration the nro. pity of levying a direct tax upon the people for the f-ur i.oi t of Government. Mr. Rhctt. h lM.lmrr " " C3 laenil er cf the Van Buren party, made a siniihjfj motion in the Lncr House, and supported tho proposition with a long .pcech. In addition to these indications of thy future policy of the office holdiiig party, the deputy -Marshals employed to take the census, are reijuircd by positive in. struetions from Washington City, to tike a schedule of ail the real and pjrs-.Miu! prcertv in the country. Put all these things together and it is evident that ihould Mi. Van Buren bj re-elected, wc shjM have a direct tux levied upon us fjr the support cf government.

For Indiana's proportion of the genera! government's expenses will be at least one million and a half cf dollars and this to be raised annually by taxation. A syntem more oppressive to the poor could not be devised. A similar policy produced the Whiskey Insurrection of t?93, yet the office holders call themselves the fuenJs of the poor. They aie ju-t about as much the fiicndsofthe poor as the wolf is tho friend uf he lamb. Tho Cilice Holders. i he oince holding gentry talk a great deal aluJt M our conventions, parades, shows,hurrahinrr, diinl ing, ecc. .ie tney our masters that we must rjo aiiu ask them what wd must do? Do we belong to Mr. Van Buren and his office holder ? or, are we ficemcn, entitled to the privileges of freemen! We do not interfere with them we do not ask them to j iu us. When they attem t to twine the chains cf slavery around us, and wc resist, they cry out that we are very foolish, very si,'!y When they wish to put their hands in the pockets of the people and plunder them, and they resist, they tell them to bold still, democracy icipaires it. They oppress, grind us to dust, and when we raise our voice and hands against it, they think thev can lull us to sleep by singing in our ears 'democracy, democracy.' & Harrison IVIoa Dcware Of the tricks of the otlice holding party. Thev will resort to all manner of means to induce you to vote for Howard, but you will not find one of their party who votes for Digger thev mav tell you so, but it will be to deceive you. Every friend of Reform should bear in mind that in voting for Howard he is doing Harrison more injuiy than by voting for Van Buren in the fall, and that h" is doing all in his power to per. petuate the present State cf things. The editor of the Sun in his last paper cays that the Harrison men are determined to do their bet in buying up votes with liquor, &c. The editor in charging the fiiends of iarrison with a vish to buy up votes, is indirectly saving that I're are otes in this county that can be bought - li-juor. V.'e regret that the Dun rhould ckc

this charge indirectly against any portion of our j population. We have a different opinion of our j voters. We believe ihcra free and independent,! , . I and not to be influenced by liquor, or any thing eke. Because a ma:i happens to be poor, it is no

reason why he should not cast as independent a vote as the licbett man in the county. Sum. mny drink a little we nil drink a little occasion ally but in drinking thy do not dream that they are under any oblijatton to vote as the man docs with whoin they drink, and they who think so a; mistake in their conclusions, and slander the integiity and honesty of out voters. o v The Sun udi.-es the locofocoi to abstain from thinking altogether on the day of the election. Very good advice but it seems to us that the editor of th'j Sun, like Amos Kendall, ha3 become very pious dl at once as Mother LoLkin soys, 'you're a pious un, iqueere.' The editor of t'ae tnin fays that he will put the names of both candidate! for governor on the tickets be pilnU. Thatjs one of the ways bv which fraud and iuipositiji may be practiced in the eb-ction, and as bis pJty has resorted to every species of artiiire and fli .d to Jecieve the people before the election, weLvj no doubt they will keep it up until it is ovefr. We put only the names of our own candida'.cs for governor and lieutenant governor on oif tickets, solely to prevent imposition. 1 -3 I'YcSc-.-flisiai.

The Sub-Treasury System ia Iaiiana--thc collection cf taacs in Geld and Silver only! .Many of the leading members of the Van I'uren parly in thu aeven.1 states have hitherto evaded a direct reply to the question, is it your policy to introduce the sub-treasury system under the Slat-' governments' Whether their motive 1ms been to eoncenl their opinions lest an uf firmalive expression uiIit endanger the p:is,stige of the sub-treasury hill by conuress, o; becausu their individual popularity might be effected by such an avowal, we know not; but we have ever been satisfied that so soon as the Chief Executive had attained his great object, the eon trol of the publie m ney by the passage of the sub-treasury bill, a similar :ir.iri would be made by his friends, at least in those Slates where they have the ascendency. The evasion of a direct response to this enquiry would alone t'iriii a sufficient reason for charging the design upon them: bu t we find other and stronger reasons in admissions of some of the more candid members of the Van Uuren party, and in open avowals of the more immediate organ of the President, the defender, and advocate, as it assumes and is acknowledged to be, of his principles and measures and of those who support hit.i. for calling our fello w-citizens NOW and IMMEDIATELY to the subject, which is one of vital importance to them. It would be folly to altemot a discus sion of ihe impropriety of collecting the Siate revenue in (Jold ami Silver only. Every reason which has been urged against the pa-sago of the sub-treasury bill by congress applies with equal ftnee against the inttoductioti of to ruinous a measure in the several states. Indeed if the consequences of that law shall be so latal to the interest of the coinmu'iity as have been predicted by its enemies: if the prices of produce and labor are to be so greatly lUquetiated. as is aibniltuJ by it? friends; to what indescribable degradation and misery will the honest and industrious farmers, laborers, and enterprising men of the country be reduced, when Gr.eh of the states, following the example of the genera! irovernment, sh.iM also refuse to receive from the people aught but the precious metals for l.'u ir luxei! Yel, we as a, why might not such a system b.adobted with as much propriety by the state :;s well as by the Tnild States?

Now what is the plain and obvious meaning of this language? Why, that as the Genera! Government has adopted the Specie Policy,' and collects all its revenues in specie, so the State governments wi'l be expected to pursue the same course to follow the example. They must collect their revenue also in gold and silver, and where does that revenue come from? From the pockets of the people. And where are they to get the gold and silver? There are, according to Mr. Van Buren's statement, only eighty-five millions in the country. Of this sum an enormous amount will be absorbed by the demands of the General Government, whose annual expenditures for the last five years have run up to ihiriy-five and forty millions of dollars. In whose hands will the specie be then? In the hands of the officeholders who recieve their pay from the revenue collected in gold and silver. But what will the farmers, mechanics and laborers have to procure the specie with to pay their taxes, if indeed, they have any thing at all? Why, look again at the extract which we have quo-
